Occasions Mini

April 19, 2012

I thought I would take a break from posting old cards with retiring products to post a NEW card with retiring products. :) Well, there's a chance the Send Me Soaring stamp set will show up in the 2012-2013 Catalog, but we won't know until June. So, when the Occasions mini ends on 4/30, it will soar away for at least a little while!

In my class two weeks ago, we made this card. It was my hostess's request, and obviously based on the card on page 16 of the Occasions mini. It was a somewhat labor-intensive card, including making the white paper embossed with that diagonal look. Of course, after I had made it, I learned that SU was about to launch a new diagonal scoring plate to work with the Simply Scored. Hooray!

Mine arrived about a week ago and I have had so much fun playing with it! It makes making matching envelopes a breeze, and opens up a ton of possibilities for creating fun backgrounds.

This card and envelope set was fun to make. I kept it pretty simple. I love how that one small section of scored paper makes such an impact. It's hard to not reach out to touch it!

This is one of the cards we made at last week's class, and I think it was my second favorite. Maybe favorite. I can't decide! :)

I love the Everyday Enchantment products on page 7 of the SAB catalog. This card has NO stamping! It was really quick and all came together thanks to the #1 reason I love SU!: the coordinating products that take guesswork and time consuming research out of the way!

This card came together in about 10 minutes and has become one of my favorites.

I simply stamped the tyepwriter and sentiment (LOVE this set), trimmed. Using my craft knife, I cut a little slit by the tyepwriter's "ribbon" and inserted the bottom of one of my little hearts. I placed everything on my paper with Dimensionals (of course!).

I scored 1/4" around each edge of the Sweet Shop DSP and layered it on Basic Black. The card base is Island Indigo.

Kind of a different color scheme for Valentine's Day, but I think Joe will appreciate it!

Hopefully everyone got their copy in the mail. If you didn't or need a copy, please let me know.

The Occasions minis are always my favorite minis, and they always seem to include a really fun and exciting new product. I'll never forget when they introduced the clear-mount option 2 years ago, or all the exciting embellishments they had last year. This year is my favorite though- the new framelit dies!! Holy cow, I can't wait to show you guys these.I didn't place my pre-order until the very last day of the year (helping Santa costs a bundle!), so I won't have any fun new samples until next week. :( I'm soooo excited to get everything though!!

You can see the mini along the right hand side under "Current Catalogs". Also there is a carry over list from the Holiday Mini. These items can still be ordered!

I've also updated my supply lists to include the projects from the Occasions mini. Those are also listed along the right hand side.

We made this card last week at my "Thoughtful Cards" class. I love making cards that can easily fit an occasion, theme, or feeling by simply changing an inside sentiment. Many of my cards are left "verse-less" on the front.

This photographed kind of wonky. We sponged the ink on the circle of Glossy paper. We used Baja Breeze, Night of Navy, and Pumpkin Pie. The bee and flowers were stamped with Staz-On. I love this set and hope to see it return in the next IBC!
